So many voices. So many experiences.
So many organisations standing side by side so no one faces epilepsy alone.

You may have seen concerning news this morning that some people are experiencing shortages in getting their medication.

(https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c202jqn3jzro?app-referrer=webview)

We are in contact with the National Pharmacy Association to monitor this situation, urging how important it is people with epilepsy get the right medications they have been prescribed.

What can do you do?

* Try to get your prescription earlier so if there is a problem you can try a different pharmacy or ask them to contact a different wholesaler. Independent pharmacies are more likely to be able to do this.

* Use our Don't Sub My Drug guide (https://www.epilepsy.org.uk/app/uploads/2025/04/EPILEPSY-ACTION-Dont-Sub-My-Drugs-leaflet.pdf) for more top tips and advice on discussing options with your pharmacist.

* You can also request a Charlie Card from SUDEP Action which allows you to request a minimum emergency supply from any chemist if you find yourself without your regular medication. (https://sudep.org/charlie-card/)

If you have any concerns and have been experiencing any issues getting your medication, get in touch with our Epilepsy Action helpline - call 0808 800 5050 or email [email protected]
